Abstract: Audio is analyzed based on semitone intervals (402-406) and an average is calculated for each semitone channel (408-410). Running averages are calculated for each semitone channel (412) and averages are compared to see if they cross (414, 416). Crossing events are marked and utilized in combination with frequency spectrum data to determine a match between stored sound patterns and the input audio.

Abstract: A method (100) for creating a load balanced spatial partitioning of a structured, diffusing system of particles with pairwise interactions, comprises steps of: assigning a weight corresponding to a computational cost for a pair interaction of particles to a simulation space distance between t he particles (106); performing a spatial partitioning (108) of the simulation space; and assigning computation of pair interaction to any node that has th e positions of both particles (110). The method can also be implemented as machine executable instructions executed by a programmable information processing system or as hard coded logic in a specialized computing apparatu s (200) such as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

Abstract: A method is provided for selling products containing or relating to audio content. According to the method, it is determined whether audio identifying information generated for an audio content image matches audio identifying information in an audio content database (308). If the audio identifying information generated for the audio content image matches audio identifying information in the audio content database, at least one product containing o r relating to audio content that corresponds to the matching audio identifying information is identified (310). In one embodiment, the audio content image is received (305), and the audio identifying information is generated for the audio content image (306). In another embodiment, the audio identifying information for the audio content image is received. Also provided is a syst em for selling products.
